Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 887 - 888 Nuwa Appears (3rd update!)

Amidst the crowd, a young man dressed in a green Taoist robe and an elegant white-clothed woman with a dignified air were gazing complicatedly at Sun Wukong and the Heavenly Prince, who were engaged in a fierce battle in midair. A hint of worry appeared in the woman’s eyes.

"Hong Jun Daoist Brother, you say that Sun Wukong and I are connected by bloodline, and indeed, I do feel a certain closeness to him. Yet all the demons of this Heavenly Demon City claim he is of the Battle God Ape Clan’s royal family. How can this be?"

The white-clothed woman was none other than the Goddess Nuwa, her cultivation at the Domain Marshal Realm, while the one she was inquiring was Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, who, like the Heavenly Prince, was at the early stage of the Domain King Realm.

After arriving in the Yuan Realm, Goddess Nuwa and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor had been cultivating quietly. Although they hadn’t made an enormous name for themselves like Pangu, their cultivation progress was quite fast.

After arriving in Heavenly Demon City, they joined the Heavenly Artifact Alliance.

The Heavenly Artifact Alliance is an Artifact Refiner organization for the Demon Clan, not only in Heavenly Demon City but with branches throughout the entire Yuan Realm. freёwebnoѵel.com

Unlike other Artifact Refiner organizations in the Yuan Realm, the Heavenly Artifact Alliance only accepts Demon Clan Artifact Refiners, and most of the artifacts they refine are provided exclusively to the Demon Clan.

In the Yuan Realm, many races coexist, and although the Human Race is still the dominant group, there are quite a few members of the Demon Clan. However, in the field of artifact refining, the Demon Clan lags far behind the Human Race.

Because of this, Artifact Refiners within the Demon Clan hold an esteemed status, and those who could join the Heavenly Artifact Alliance are even more exceptional.

Goddess Nuwa possesses the Heavenly Demon Body, but few know this. The true form of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor is also that of the Demon Clan. He is a worm that survived from a previous cosmic era before the Ancient Primeval, lingering in the chaotic crevices of space, until Pangu’s Heaven-Opening allowed him to escape from those crevices.

Due to an accumulation of mana over a cosmic era, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s strength erupted upon reaching the Primeval Continent. He shape-shifted, accepted the Heavenly Dao’s gift of the Creation Jade Disc, educated the primordial beings, and presided over the Heavenly Dao.

Originally, after Pangu opened the heavens, he perished, and his flesh and blood formed the mountains and rivers of the Primeval Continent. However, due to Sun Wukong’s journey through the Wall of Time and Space to the Ancient Chaos Era, the destiny of the Heavenly Dao changed. After opening the heavens, Pangu did not perish but instead created a passage to the Yuan Realm with his own strength.

Although Pangu’s fate was altered, the fate of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor remained unchanged. After successfully re-opening the Three Realms, he invited Goddess Nuwa to seclude with him in the Zixiao Palace. There, he cultivated further and condensed the Chaos Fire, and though he didn’t prove the Dao with strength, he advanced from the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal Realm to become a Chaos Saint, reaching the Yuan General Realm, and created a passage to the Yuan Realm.

Although he had long left behind his original worm form and had a new body condensed by the Heavenly Dao, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor could still simulate the aura of the Demon Clan. More accurately, he and Goddess Nuwa both stood between the Human and Demon Clans, possessing the advantages of both races.

Regarding the abilities in alchemy and artifact refining, no one in the Demon Clan could compare to Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Goddess Nuwa. When Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor distributed treasures on the Dividing Treasure Cliff, even though each treasure was innately born, they were selected and nurtured by him. The skills in alchemy and artifact refining of both Goddess Nuwa and the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord were taught by Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor.

Upon arriving in Heavenly Demon City, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Goddess Nuwa, with their astonishing alchemy and artifact refining skills, instantly won over the Artifact Refiners of the Heavenly Artifact Alliance and became Elders upon entering the organization.

The Undying Celestial Demon Clan controlled the entire Heavenly Demon City with immense power but couldn’t meddle with the Artifact Refiners of the Heavenly Artifact Alliance. Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Goddess Nuwa had no interest in controlling Heavenly Demon City and spent their time in the Heavenly Artifact Alliance cultivating and refining pills and artifacts. If not for Sun Wukong’s forceful intrusion into Heavenly Demon City causing such a commotion, they wouldn’t have emerged from the Heavenly Artifact Alliance.

The Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms was created after Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s successful re-opening of the Three Realms, and some matters from the Three Realms occasionally passed through the barrier between realms to his awareness. He knew that the Three Realms had a Great Sage Equalling Heaven named Sun Wukong, who completely reshaped the structure of the Three Realms, and he knew that Sun Wukong had arrived in the Yuan Realm. However, he didn’t expect to meet him so soon, and of all places, in Heavenly Demon City!

"Nuwa, many members of the Battle God Ape Clan have entrusted us with alchemy and artifact refining over the years. You must be familiar with the characteristics of their clan by now. Unlike the Undying Celestial Demon Clan, the Battle God Ape Clan does not have strict bloodline limits. As long as a member of the Monkey Tribe has strong enough combat power meeting certain standards, they can become an official member of the Battle God Ape Clan!"

In response to Goddess Nuwa’s question, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor smiled faintly. Despite claims that the Battle God Ape Clan secluded themselves in Battle God Mountain and never emerged, this seclusion merely meant they didn’t meddle in external affairs; it wasn’t that they truly never left the mountain.

The Battle God Ape Clan were unmatched in combat strength but not skilled in alchemy and artifact refining; they had to rely on the Heavenly Artifact Alliance. Over the years, many members of the Battle God Ape Clan had quietly come to Heavenly Demon City to purchase elixirs and spiritual treasures from the Heavenly Artifact Alliance, some even seeking out Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Goddess Nuwa directly.

Therefore, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Goddess Nuwa were very familiar with the characteristics of the Battle God Ape Clan!

"That makes sense."

Goddess Nuwa lowered her head in thought and suddenly smiled brightly. "With Wukong’s strength, he surpasses the geniuses of the Battle God Ape Clan. Saying he has the royal bloodline of the Battle God Ape Clan is not an exaggeration!"

Watching the fierce battle between Sun Wukong and the Heavenly Prince in the sky, Goddess Nuwa felt a sense of pride. After all, Sun Wukong carried her essence blood, making him her progeny. What mother wouldn’t feel proud seeing her child achieve great things?

However, alongside her pride, Goddess Nuwa also felt a tinge of worry. The Heavenly Prince possessed a genuine Domain King Realm cultivation. Despite being in the early stage, his royal bloodline from the Undying Celestial Demon Clan made his combat ability surpass that of ordinary late-stage Domain Kings. Sun Wukong’s battle with him was too uncertain!

Goddess Nuwa had a deeper concern—the hidden experts of the Undying Celestial Demon Clan!

Though these ancient beings hadn’t interfered with the Heavenly Prince’s rule of Heavenly Demon City for a long time, they were covertly watching everything. If the Heavenly Prince gained the upper hand, it would be fine. But once he was outmatched or in danger by Sun Wukong, Goddess Nuwa was certain those old monsters would emerge!

Then, Sun Wukong would truly be in danger!

"Why, worried about that kid?"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "Don’t worry, I’ve already sent a message to the Battle God Ape Clan. The one backing him isn’t just that Heavenly Prince!"
